I enjoy counting off the days. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment.

Although yesterday's blog sounds miserable, my friends pulled me through it. The support here is amazing.

I fixed a simple meal last night: a nice salad, a bowl of corn (scraped from the cob and eaten raw), and some nut brittle from Alissa's recipe (almonds, sunflowers, and sesame seeds in honey). It was all delicious.

I'm going to continue to make recipes, but I will also have a simple alternative b/c I have been getting nauseous. I would force myself to eat a recipe and then get sick from it, so I dreaded mealtimes. I'm sure the nausea is detoxification.

Changes: possibly my taste buds. That salad last night tasted amazing and it was just romaine lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers. I think my skin is getting a little softer.

I don't think I have cravings any more. When I see a food (like on tv) that I used to really like, I think past the eating of it to the way it would make me feel and the damage it would do to my body.

Making progress one day at a time...

    Hey Pilgrim~Yes, baby steps are key & gentleness with ourselves. Transformation is both scary & wonderful! My yoga teacher said a quote over the weekend that stuck with me: "If we do what we've always done, we'll get what we've always got"..so true..time to step out of the box of comfort for me & get what I've always dreamed about. It's great to be on this journey with so many like minded people who are all at different stages in life & mind. You are doing great!
